About the Book, Front Window

Summary from the author: Just home from her trip to California where, once again, Alexa Hartfield managed to find herself in suspicious circumstances, Alexa is ready for life to calm down. She has a wedding to attend, a wedding to plan, and an aunt to settle into her quiet Fairbury life. But when Aunt Faye interrupts a trip out of the country because a neighbor was burglarized, it doesn’t bode well for the cozy, homey Christmas she’d planned.

Who is stealing from the residents of Fairbury’s retirement village, and how can Faye and her cronies prove it isn’t one of them? Unheeded warnings produce dire consequences when one of the residents turns up dead, and things heat up when Faye’s new friend is at the top of the police’s investigation!

Mommynificent’s Review

Delightful! Absolutely delightful! This is a series I enjoyed the first time through and then liked even better the second time as I re-read it to get ready for this latest installment. I adore Joe and Alexa (for the most part) and I love their relationship arc, but adding Alexa’s Aunt Faye to the mix made everything even better. Aunt Faye is lovely, and she absolutely steals the show in this book. I especially enjoyed the way this book reads more like a cozy mystery than the others. I can’t wait for the next book, and I sincerely hope that it maintains this book’s perfect balance of Aunt Faye and Alexa as amateur crime-solvers!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.

A Bonus for Pre-Ordering!

So, in the book, Aunt Faye moves to Fairbury and takes on a thief who is terrorizing the local retirement village. As events take place, she records her discoveries in a journal, and Mrs. Havig is making that journal BY HAND, then photographing each page and inserting them into a book-styled PDF as a bonus for anyone who purchases the book by October 7th! Complete with chapter prompts but no spoilers, we will get to follow along with Aunt Faye as she writes out what rooms get hit in what chapter and learns what can and can’t be possible! I can’t wait to see it!

Everyone who orders by October 7 will receive an electronic copy of the journal, but Mrs. Havig is also doing a drawing to give away the actual journal to one lucky winner! Stay tuned for that on her website on launch day, September 29, 2016!
